Rob Soulsby, Contracts Managing Surveyor, commented on the challenge, “Being a keen cyclist, the London to Paris challenge and the other events we’re completing under the “More Pain for your Pound” banner, seemed a great challenge for 2014. A great deal of training is required as well as team work to organise the events; through these and fundraising we aim to reach our goal of £10,000. Having seen the work The Children’s Foundation carries out in the North East, selecting good causes that sometimes get overlooked for funding; it seemed right to marry their hard work with ours. We would also like to thank our main sponsors OPUS Building Services Ltd for their support".
